I use the Nordic Ware Popcorn Popper. It works great and has lasted 20-30 years. Check out the reviews at Target.com:
Nordic Ware is made in the USA and their customer service is great.

We use Orville's in the big plastic jug also. Our kids, grandkids, and my hairdresser, all love the white coated popcorn that DH makes. We call it "Polar Popcorn" up here, and comes holiday time, you wouldn't believe how much he makes.......or the mess he makes also!!
He (DH) keeps the instant microwave type in the pantry all the time. I don't eat it, but he seems to think it's o.k. Of course, one look at his "prego" stomach and you'd agree that it is NOT o.k. !!!!
Can you share his recipe? I love popcorn, since, for the most part, it is a healthy snack.

I like the bagged kind at work, but use the microwave air popper at home. I too use the Nordic Ware Popcorn popper. It is great and easy! I like my popcorn slightly burnt, which is super easy to do in the microwave. I love different recipes for popcorn as well.

Thanks ladies for all of your help. I went to the market this morning and picked up the Bob's Red Mill white popcorn and I am going to Target and pick up the popper that everyone is talking about. Can't beat the price.

I found this recently too (at both Whole Foods and Sprouts) and really like it. The kernels are smaller and almost all of them pop so not a lot of waste. Great taste.

You could get the cheaper bags and then dump them into a Lock & Lock container. It will definitely stay fresh for eons longer that way.
Or, you could get them and pour them in measured serving sizes and vacuum seal them. Pop them into the freezer and they will stay fresh forever. Either way I'm probably keep them in the freezer or, at least, in the refrigerator, as opposed to keeping them in the cabinet where they could suffer from temperature changes.
